Gearhead sayings - lets hear em.
Was reading the BB/SB question and STINGRAYNICK75 said "they'res no substitute for cubic inches." (hope i got the quote right) I then thought of a few others I've heard over the years like:
Speed cost money - How fast do you wanna go?
Cubic inches is cubic dollars
So lets hear some more. I haven't been here too long, so forgive me if we've been through this exercise too many times already.

Re: Gearhead sayings - lets hear em. (Scott78)
I have heard these...
"There is no replacement for displacement."
"Bottles are for babies, real men get blown."
This one is kinda not nice but, "racing a honda is like the special olympics, even if you win, youre still retarded".

"Get in, sit down, shut up and hold on!"
Of course this fits a number of situations.

Back in the day when muscle cars were new.......To egg someone on to light 'em up we used to accuse them of having tires that were "TOO BIG TO BURN".

Re: Gearhead sayings - lets hear em. (fauxrs)
Not really a saying but more of a joke but I dont think this site will let me say it right, anyway:
Do you know the difference between a Mustang and a cactus?
On a cactus the ***** is on the outside :lol:
Can be varied for whatever type car you dont like. I originally heard it about BMW's :confused:
What da ya know, it did'nt edit that!

Re: Gearhead sayings - lets hear em. (mixtli)
My two least favorite...
"You paid HOW MUCH? I could have got it for you a lot cheaper." And it's counterpart,
"You sold it for HOW MUCH? I would have given you twice that!" :lol:

Here's a pair...similar....one for drag racers, one for oval track or road racers.
For the circle/oval and road racers:
"When the green flag drops, the bull s... stops".
AND for the drag racers:
"When the green light pops, the bull s....stops".
